From the hustle and bustle of London to pastoral countryside and enchanting villages, England is a delight offering a marvelous mix of history, art, royalty, and memorable moments. Tour members on Rick's Best of London, Best of England, and Best of South England tours always return home with lots of raves — here are just a few:
"The 'wow' on the Rick Steves Best of London tour was LONDON! The city is so rich in history and beautiful traditions. I loved the beautiful churches, the mixture of food and cultures, the wide variety of museums, and the theater scene.”
— Mary Christine, Best of London tour
"One favorite memory was our night at the Kings Arms Pub in Stow-on-the-Wold. We had a delicious dinner and fun time listening to the songs and stories of the seven singer-musicians. It is too bad the 500-year-old building could not withstand dancing!"
— Patricia, Best of England tour
"For me the 'wow' moment was Stonehenge. We were there early before the crowds, and it was so wonderful to have the leisurely time to go all the way around without huge groups of people. I have always wanted to go to Stonehenge, and it fulfilled one of my dreams."
— Theresa, Best of South England tour
"We visited so many fascinating places, from the Tower of London to Westminster Abbey to Windsor Castle. I also enjoyed exploring places like Piccadilly Circus and Trafalgar Square, places I've been hearing about all my life. London is so vibrant and diverse!"
— Laura, Best of London tour
"The beauty of the countryside (so many sheep) was my 'wow' moment, especially when contrasted with the hustle and bustle of London. The cathedrals and castles were very impressive and thought-provoking with such history."
— Michael, Best of England tour
"Everything we toured was amazing. Some highlights were seeing the centuries-old bones in the Mary Rose exhibit and feeling the energy at Stonehenge. Canterbury Cathedral, Tintagel, Port Isaac, Cornwall — it was all fantastic."
— Diane, Best of South England tour
